Dane-The Future Of the school.

When DR.. James McCosh took the pres
idency Of Princeton college in 1868 and an
nounced his ambition to make 1t unlver-
sity. the event was considered one OF ma
tional importance. Now that he has
handed in his resignation-to take effect
next February-there is general regret
among American educators. Although
the venerable philosopher has passed his
three score and ten, his intellect is as wig
orous as ever: and the very letter in which
he declares that he will quit before weak
ness compels him 10, is pleasing PROOF
that there is as yet no weakness apparent
He retains his place as teacher OF the
higher philosophy, and his profound works
on philosophical subjects grow IN interest

The November Election.

Full returns OF the November state cleo
tons are much more favorable than the
first figures.
In Pennsylvania. the republican plurality
was ~ SIS which is the largest plurality
given by the republicans in non presiden-
tial year for fifteen years and nearly
three times az large that given in 1888,
the year before the presidential year. 70
he sure Mr.. Blaine had 1000 plurality in
1854, bat Mr.. Is. is much stronger than his
party.
In Massachusetts,, Governor Ames is re
elected by plurality of 1920, or nearly
double his plurality last year of 9,463.
The republicans gained i've Senators. hav-
ing now thirty out OF forty, instead OF
twenty-five. a. before In the House. the
democrats lose ten members. having only
seventy two a against 100 republicans.
In ohio, Governor Foraker Is reelected
by plurality of - ,353. This is the larg
ct plurality given in the state in seven
years, if we except that given for Blaine.
II j. few votes larger than the plurality
Of Governor Foster SIX years ago. The
republicans have gained five in the Senate
and lost four in the House. making ma

New Jersey was carried last year by the
